When purchasing Soviet Traditions cheese, the buyer expects from him the same qualities that he remembers from pre-perestroika times. In the USSR, a cottage cheese dessert was produced, the basis of which was: cottage cheese, butter, sugar and chocolate.
What was he like?
Reviews about the cheese "Soviet Traditions" are different: from "very good" to "this is a consumer fraud." What do some buyers like and what turn others off?
According to the memories of the sweet tooth of the 80s, the curd texture of the product was very dense, and the chocolate “crust” was thick and firm, holding its shape well. The current glazed cheese curds cannot boast of either one or the other. Nevertheless, the manufacturer tried to reproduce in the product that delicate unique taste of creamy vanilla, which I remember from my childhood. Outwardly, cheese also resembles a delicious dessert from the past: it is produced in the form of a rectangular bar, wrapped in a “wrapper wrapper” with the image of a ruddy boy from the 50s.
Meets standard
The brand name reassures that the quality of the dessert is no worse than the standard adopted in the Soviet food industry. Glazed cheese curds "Soviet Traditions" are made according to GOST, only not the USSR, but modern - GOST R. This circumstance does not make the delicacy worse, but it allows new ingredients in the product.
In the list of leaders among manufacturers of this type of dairy products, Rostagrokompleks LLC is the first.
What's inside?
The composition of the cheese "Soviet Traditions" is quite traditional: cottage cheese, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and chocolate icing, the components of which are cocoa powder, vegetable fat (palm oil), soy lecithin as an emulsifier, sugar and vanilla fragrance.
Everything is useful in moderation
The main element of dessert is cottage cheese, it supplies protein to our body, which nourishes and increases muscles. The dairy product also contains calcium, thanks to which the muscles have the ability to contract. Butter gives the body fat, which is indispensable in metabolic processes and provides the body with energy. However, its excessive consumption provokes an excess of cholesterol. And in alliance with granulated sugar, animal fat creates a threat of atherosclerosis. The fact is that sugar thins the walls of blood vessels, which facilitates the penetration of cholesterol into them, leading to the formation of plaques. Sucrose is a generous source of carbohydrates for brain function, but when consumed in excess, it becomes dangerous. One cheese contains about three teaspoons of "white death". In each of the 6 varieties of glazed sweets, the composition varies depending on the properties of additionalingredients.
Chocolate Temptation
Appetizing "spacesuit", which contains the curd filling of cheese "Soviet Traditions", is a confectionery glaze. Its components also have a number of valuable properties, but in excess they can harm.
This is:
- cocoa is a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals that provide he alth;
- lecithin - a material for the structure of cells, without which the body quickly ages;
- palm oil is a source of fat, the advantage of which is that it has no cholesterol.

Production details
The mystery of making a sweet milk dessert involves several stages. First incottage cheese is placed in the mixing machine, granulated sugar mixed with vanilla, butter and orange fibers are added to improve the structure of the product. The composition is stirred for 10 minutes. The mixture is then heat treated and pasteurized. After that, it is cooled and launched into the hopper of the molding device. The last stage is glazing in an appropriate apparatus and freezing at a temperature of -1 °C. The finished product is packed using a special conveyor. Thanks to modern technologies in the field of hermetic materials, cheese without preservatives is stored for 15 days, and frozen - up to 60 days.
A bit of history
The fifties of the last century - this is the era of mass appearance on the shelves of the USSR fragrant curds. The dessert instantly became popular. A gentle sweet delicacy melted on the tongue, the children happily bit into the chocolate case of the curd. Soviet cheese resembled an eskimo both in taste and appearance. By the end of the 80s, the dessert disappeared from sale, and a few years later it returned in two versions - cocoa and vanilla. Today, there are several dozen items, chocolate-covered curd bars are a favorite sweet in many countries of the world. There is even a Museum of Glazed Curds, where you can learn everything about a delicious dessert.
